We are looking at calculating the area of composite shapes today. Remember, we looked at perimeter of composite shapes last week and watched a video clip to show how to work out missing lengths. We are continuing with that video which explains how to calculate area. Click on the weblink below and start watching from 2.00 minutes in and watch carefully up to 3.15 minutes

Now, read carefully through the help sheet below which explains about how to calculate the area of composite shapes. Then apply your understanding to have a go at the challenges. Remember to work out any missing lengths first before you cut your shape into different squares or rectangles to calculate the area. Remember, to always put your answer with units2.
